I'll always love the original Space Jam. That movie was a big part of my childhood and I must have watched it about 25 times.

I'm not interested in Space Jam 2. A sequel coming out for Space Jam 25+ years after doesn't excite me.

Like now apparently the official media message is, "You can be Strong, or you can be Sexy, but not both of those things, that's problematic." And like... why? That's regression. We spent decades with characters like Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Xena and the original She-Ra - and yes, even Lola Bunny - illustrating that it really doesn't have to be one or the other. I really do feel like that was the best overall positive message to put out. I never felt like it made anyone who wasn't sexy feel like they couldn't be strong, just that a woman really could "have it all". That's aspirational.

Like I can't understand why there's suddenly this big war on female characters looking sexy. It's happening more and more often and I don't like or understand it. It feels like regression, not evolution.
That's why anime and Japanese videogames are still worth it. They know that female characters can be both strong and sexy. Chun-Li, Cammy, Motoko Kusanagi, Nico Robin, Boa Hancock, Nami, Revy, etc.
